Got an AMD chip in your Windows PC? Then you just gained access to more than half a million Google Android apps thanks to an AMD partnership with Bluestacks. A vitrualization app and website filled with Android titles can help bridge your mobile and desktop world.
AMD has partnered with BlueStacks (http://blogs.amd.com/fusion/2012/09/27/announcing-amd-appzone-player-powered-by-bluestacks/) to bring 500,000 Android mobile apps to the PC. A new AMD App Zone (http://www.amd.com/appzone) website contains both the BlueStacks virtualization software and an app store with featured free apps available for download.

It's not clear whether it is required that you have AMD hardware, but I wouldn't think so since BlueStacks only "optimized" their platform for AMD APUs and GPUs. One of you Intel + nVidia nuts test it out and see if it works.
Gonna be testing this for a while to see if it's actually as good as they say it is.
